What does slide editing do on the volca bass?

[clownfool]

I'm new to the volca and I don't really understand what slide editing does. Can someone explain what it does better than the manual?

If you were to think of the Volca bass as a guitar, a slide would be just that: sliding to a new note without picking that note. On the vBass, you can turn slide on or off for each of the 16-steps of the sequence. When you record a pattern live, it will automatically record the slide settings you play (because the vBass is monophonic, when you hit a new note while still holding the last note, it will slide to the new note). Adding slide to a step will remove the attack of the note (as if you picked or plucked the note on a guitar) and will slide to the subsequent note in the sequence. Hope this helps

as an addendum:

if you put a "slide" marker on a step via slide edit, it will slide the marked step to the NEXT note.
(this had me confused in the beginning, might be good to know ^^).
